San Francisco has a stout front seven, but beastly 3-4 DE Justin Smith is not getting any younger and it could be time to groom his replacement. The 49ers signed Glenn Dorsey in Free Agency, but have stated they intend to use him at NT and still need pass rushing help up front.

Jones is one of the premiere interior pass rushers in this draft and is an excellent fit as a 5' technique in SF's front. He has a great frame and could add weight if needed, although that doesn't seem necessary. He plays with great strength and explosiveness. He's very athletic for a guy his size and has a sizable repertoire of pass rushing moves. Jones is a very talented player that adds even more versatility to an already dangerous defensive unit.

Just to be safe PM 4 or 5 players that you think may be available at 45. If one of them is available I will make the pick for you. If all of your guys are gone then we will wait until you pick after 4pm.

I PM'ed you a list of guys. I would think at least one of them will be there. I should be back a little after 4pm CT today.

My stomach would turn if Harbaugh/San Francisco
Drafted Datone Jones. Dude is going to be a damn good 34 DE
He is a 1st RD talent and my #1 34 DE
I was leaning towards him for the Texans potentially
